THE CHURCH

Vanessa Curto is a writer, dancer, and spiritual guide. She uses image-based meditation as a tool to help uncover the core strength in the human being, and help the client wear unhelpful beliefs and habits away. She has completed advanced training in meditation and in tribal shamanic healing practices.

Vanessa leads group meditations focused on the mind and body. She teaches workshops that combine creative writing with energy consciousness and dance. In her teaching, she never sacrifices the loving emphasis on movement and the physical experience of the body. Vanessa has a deep love of spiritual dance. She has studied and performed sacred Sufi dances in Chicago, Santa Fe, and Italy.

Vanessa, who holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, has staged three full-length dance theater works, The Book of Tango, Write on Water, and The Circus of Angels, funded by awards from Rice University, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Houston Playwright's Festival.
